STEVENS POINT – A Portage County Jail inmate who was found dead and hanging in his cell Sunday night had recently pleaded guilty to murder charges and was destined for a life behind bars. Jose Luis Flores Aca of Plover, whose body was found at about 11:30 p.m. while correction officers were completing safety and security checks at the jail, was to be sentenced in September. He pleaded guilty to murder and sexual assault charges on June 27 and faced mandatory life imprisonment for the homicide charge and 40 years for the sexual assault charge. Flores Aca strangled his 36-year-old neighbor, Jamie Koch, who lived in his Chestnut Drive apartment complex, on Aug. 7. He admitted to police that he killed her and then sexually assaulted her body. An autopsy conducted at the state crime lab in Madison determined Koch died of asphyxiation from being strangled. Flores Aca then wrapped Koch's body in sheets, drove to Waupaca County in her car with her body in the back seat and parked at a farm where he lit the vehicle on fire to hide the evidence. He got a ride back from the farm with friends. A farmer later found the car. Read More. |
